Wild Doubles in Charivari and Interlude --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --Index --AcknowledgmentsMedieval courtiers defined themselves in ceremonies and rituals. Tournaments, Maying, interludes, charivaris, and masking invited the English and French nobility to assert their identities in gesture and costume as well as in speech. These events presumed that performance makes a self, in contrast to the modern belief that identity precedes social performance and, indeed, that performance falsifies the true, inner self. Susan Crane resists the longstanding convictions that medieval rituals were trivial affairs, and that personal identity remained unarticulated until a later period.Focusing on England and France during the Hundred Years War, Crane draws on wardrobe accounts, manuscript illuminations, chronicles, archaeological evidence, and literature to recover the material as well as the verbal constructions of identity. She seeks intersections between theories of practice and performance that explain how appearances and language connect when courtiers dress as wild men to interrupt a wedding feast, when knights choose crests and badges to supplement their coats of arms, and when Joan of Arc cross-dresses for the court of inquisition after her capture.Middle Ages series.Hundred Years' War, 1339-1453Social aspectsGreat BritainIdentity (Psychology)Great BritainHistoryTo 1500Hundred Years' War, 1339-1453Social aspectsFranceCostumeGreat BritainHistoryMedieval, 500-1500Identity (Psychology)FranceHistoryTo 1500CostumeFranceHistoryMedieval, 500-1500RitualGreat BritainHistoryTo 1500RitualFranceHistoryTo 1500Great BritainSocial life and customs1066-1485Great BritainCourt and courtiersHistoryTo 1500FranceCourt and courtiersHistoryTo 1500FranceSocial life and customs1328-1600Cultural Studies.Literature.Medieval and Renaissance Studies.Hundred Years' War, 1339-1453Social aspectsIdentity (Psychology)HistoryHundred Years' War, 1339-1453Social aspectsCostumeHistoryIdentity (Psychology)HistoryCostumeHistoryRitualHistoryRitualHistory306/.0941Crane Susan1516223MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779363203321The performance of self3848891UNINA
